What is Tulip?
Tulip is a framework for building consistent business systems from custom modules, shared UI, integrations, and AI-ready workflows.
Tulip is a framework for building unified business systems.
It gives you React and Next.js packages for the common parts of internal software: app shells, layouts, UI components, query state, tables, commands, inline editing, file storage, file managers, rich text, auth-aware flows, and AI agents.
The short version
Tulip helps you build custom business software without rebuilding the same application infrastructure every time.
You can use it to:
- build admin screens and operational dashboards
- compose consistent data tables, filters, and actions
- add typed command menus and permission-aware actions
- upload, serve, browse, and organize files
- integrate provider-backed experiences such as Google Drive
- add AI assistants that can use application tools safely
The product idea
Most business systems are split across custom apps, SaaS platforms, spreadsheets, file stores, and chat interfaces. Users experience that as fragmentation: different screens, different workflows, different action patterns, and different rules.
Tulip is designed to make those pieces feel like one system.
You still decide what to build and what to integrate. Tulip gives you the shared structure so each module uses the same design language, data patterns, action model, file model, and AI tool model.
What Tulip is not
Tulip is not a no-code app builder, a database, or a hosted SaaS platform.
It is a developer framework. You bring your app, data model, routes, permissions, and product decisions. Tulip provides reusable packages that make those decisions easier to express consistently.
The main promise
Build what makes your business unique. Integrate the rest. Make everything feel like one Tulip system.
